High alkalinity of water, is it a problem when growing?
EasyNamestarted grow question 5 years ago
Is high alkalinity (cca 240 mg/l) a problem if the ppm is normal (cca 250mg/l)? I know that high alkalinity makes for high pH, but does it do anything else, like will it hurt my plant?
Btw, I used strips to check it, not an actual meter.

Если вопрос в кислотности, то щелочной ph проявится в полном недомогании растения и в нехватке всех элементов. Растение будет бледным и скорченным, подвергнется некрозу и отмиранию, в результате оно погибнет! Рекомендую использовать для определения кислотности цифровой ph-метр. С полосками устанешь мучаться. Цена вопроса цифрового (10$), но рекомендую каждый раз перед смешиванием раствора калибровать устройство! 👌😇👍 Удачи, бро!

It will end up locking out certain nutrient uptake if left unchecked. Just get some pH down. Why take the risk.👊

GD web site issues ...Has anyone thought of taking a month off so that GD could fix the problems? We should just take July off so they have room to work. Then, if we can't send a simple image url to a friend without a 7h ban after that time, we can take august off too. Rinse and repeatOther. Other
